NeuroTech 2008, is a brand new event organized by The University of Brighton Psychology Society in conjunction with University of Sussex based Mind Lab International.

The aim of this event is to enable undergraduate students, faculty and members of the public to get the chance to see neuroscience technology at first hand.

Neuroscience is increasingly moving out of the lab and into our everyday lives, in the form of new technologies, which promise to heal, entertain and inform us with deeper insights into ourselves.

Adam Field, secretary of The University Psychology Society and one of the event’s co-organisers explains: " We hope to be featuring the latest brain and physiological technologies, including live demos. I think an interactive element is vital for an event like this to have an appeal beyond psychology students."

Neuroscientist Darren Bridger, Mind Lab International’s co-founder added "Neuroscience is going to have an ever-growing influence on everyday life for many in the coming years. The Neuro-tech fair is a great opportunity for people to come and get first-hand experience of these technologies, and to talk to the people who are developing them."

The event starts at mid-day on 25th April 2008 from 10am to 3pm at The Retreat Cafe,University of Brighton Falmer Campus, Village Way, Falmer, East Sussex. BN1 9PH.
